Got the kids a new gaming desktop for Christmas to power the new Oculus Rift S that their grandparents got them

Currently loving playing old ColecoVision carts via my recently arrived CollectorVision Phoenix Video Game System
(FPGA Console).
I've given up playing "fix-the-bad-ram/component-and-lifting-traces-with-barely-enough-technical-skill" game on the real Coleco hardware, not to mention keeping CRTs alive so I can try and use the end result.
-
@warren-stanley I have a fully functional actual ColecoVision still, with 17 carts.
-
@scottalanmiller cherish that thing! But beware, here be dragons - in the form of Coleco's terrible engineering and the ticking timebomb of the internal components!
Where I am, they weren't popular and therefore not common. I was lucky enough to get a stack of cartridges (around a dozen) along with the console and "Turbo Unit" steering wheel controller. Poured time and money into refurbishing the console (along with a nice USB PSU, and a second PAL Console from the Nederlands).

Nothing crazy, but the price was unbeatable. No way was I going to assemble something for that price and it met all of our gaming needs. The drive is crap, but the plan is to upgrade the drive next year (2TB SSD likely) and probably a little after that a new GPU.

I picked up Divinity Original Sin 2 on sale, for the Switch. It's good, but hard!

That game is so mean sometimes. There are some stupid things you can do that will kill just about anything in the game supposedly. Tried to get through without that. Currently have a save at the final battle. Some day I'll pick it up and give that last bit another go.

Nice, I just bought one for Percy too. I looked at that exact one that you bought. I couldn't make up my mind but went with a refurbished MSI which seems to be almost same specs but it had a ssd drive.
